  Architectural, urban and territorial innovation

  City and agriculture seminar

  Le rapprochement des deux champs — ville et agriculture — peut être considéré comme une facette du regard porté sur la relation historique ville/campagne. L’expansion urbaine a largement consommé les espaces agricoles. L’introduction de l’architecture et de l’urbanisme dans ce couple conduit à une première observation. Soit l’architecture se verdit et laisse entendre qu’elle joue la partition de la ville-nature (toits plantés, culture hors-sol, tour verte), qui peut se composer autrement que par la mobilisation du champ de l’agriculture, soit elle contribue par les objets qu’elle génère à rendre très concrètement possible cette agriculture urbaine (par ex. ferme verticale). Il y a là sans doute une première source de questionnement permettant la prise en compte du quatrième terme de l’équation proposée : l’innovation.
